Description

WPT was established in 1998 as a city-backed public company. It now operates five campuses across Wrocław (WPT Fabryczna, WPT Stabłowicka, WPT Długa, WPT Wschodnia, WPT Południe), totalling more than 100,000 m² of laboratory and office space. The park is majority-owned by the City of Wrocław and the Lower Silesian Marshal's Office. Its model combines physical incubation, pre-seed and seed investment (via the WPT VC arm), applied R&D infrastructure (cleanrooms, biotech labs, nanotechnology facilities), and deep links to Wrocław University of Technology and the Wrocław University of Environmental and Life Sciences. Between 2019 and 2023 the group created 2,600 specialist jobs, supported 92 patent filings, and facilitated PLN 1.7 billion in EU R&D co-financing for tenant companies. The 2023 intake brought the total tenant community to 635 active companies employing 7,400+ specialists. The model is replicable: WPT helped establish similar parks in Opole and Legnica, demonstrating scalability beyond a single host city.
